Not that you asked for an update on the NYC Marathon
But, you get one anyway. The Marathon is officially ON! You may know about my obsession with NYC and much of that has to do with the incredible drive that the entire city has. To pull off “the world’s largest marathon” a week after Super Storm Sandy is serious business, y’all.
For my part - I’m heading to NYC tomorrow. That is, if American Airlines and LaGuardia have MY best interests in mind. They won’t. So, that being the case, I don’t care if y’all throw up a travel related prayer for us (me, Mum, and Aunt Betty Dale).
WHILST throwing that prayer up - and more importantly, I’m not as insanely selfish as I sound (yes I am) - don’t forget to continue to pray for the families in the northeast and in Haiti and anywhere the storm hit. There’s some serious devastation from this storm. New York’s resilience can mislead us as to the support they do need.
You can support the victims in more ways than one. Donate if you can. Go through a traditional non-profit that you trust, Red Cross for example. Do some research. I’ll throw this link out there as a start - haven’t vetted this - so do your own research if you want to help: http://abcnews.go.com/US/hurricane-sandy-victims/story?id=17598687#.UJKRlGlEQ6E
LAST - if you made it this far - World Vision is still doing so much good and so much of that comes through the NYC Marathon - you can give directly to World Vision at www.worldvision.org or, if you still haven’t but want to sponsor a child - do so here: www.teamworldvision.org/nycsponsor
There’s that! See ya at the starting line.

"One of the things people always say to you if you get upset is, don’t take it personally, but listen hard to what’s going on and, please, I beg you, take it personally. Understand: every attack on Hillary Clinton for not knowing her place is an attack on you. Underneath almost all those attacks are the words: get back, get back to where you once belonged. When Elizabeth Dole pretends that she isn’t serious about her career, that is an attack on you. The acquittal of O.J. Simpson is an attack on you. Any move to limit abortion rights is an attack on you — whether or not you believe in abortion. The fact that Clarence Thomas is sitting on the Supreme Court today is an attack on you."
— Nora Efron
“Oh, hi.” or otherwise known as “Fake 30x30 update”

"Female authority is still associated with childhood, and the last time a lot of powerful guys saw a powerful woman they were eight, and they feel regressed to childhood by a powerful woman in a way that they don’t feel with a man."
